OK, how many of you use them?

If so, what style do you like, the cut off fingertip type or the ones with fold over mittens?

And, once they get wet from releasing a fish, do they dry out quickly and continue to keep your hands warm, or do they stay wet and uncomfortable to wear, forcing you to take them off and have cold hands again?

Are there any brands you recommend?

Thanks for sharing!

I assume you mean gloves for cold weather. I now use wool gloves with half fingers. Unless the wind is really blowing (cold fingertips), they are a cheap and effective way to keep your hands warm, even when wet.
My first pair of cold weather gloves were neoprene, but I lost one and was too cheap to pay the extra dough to buy a replacement pair. The neo's were warmer, but I think I get a better casting feel from the woolen ones.

I use a pair of fleece gloves with cut-off fingers. They will add a couple of hours to your stamina on a cold day. It is a good (and not to expensive) investment.
